It wasn\u2019t just about HIV but focused on multiple aspects of service delivery to enhance efficiency in our facilities,\u201d Atwine said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She acknowledged Uganda\u2019s reliance on PEPFAR-funded health workers who have historically operated standalone HIV clinics across the country. However, she emphasized that the USAID funding freeze meant Uganda had to rethink how services were delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor years, we have depended on PEPFAR to support a large number of healthcare workers running standalone HIV clinics across the country. But with this funding uncertainty, we realized things could no longer continue as usual. Fortunately, this integration was already in progress, so the timing aligns with our healthcare reforms,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Atwine also reassured the public that the new system does not eliminate HIV-specific services but rather merges them into a broader healthcare framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe clinics are not closed, despite the alarming and misleading headlines. What we are saying is that standalone HIV clinics must now be integrated with other healthcare services,\u201d she clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She gave an example from her recent visit to Kayunga, where she observed how integration is being implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, I was in Kayunga, and I saw firsthand how this integration works. It\u2019s an excellent approach. Doctors treating hypertension and diabetes are now also attending to HIV patients. They have designated special days for HIV care, but instead of isolating HIV patients, they are seen in the same environment as others receiving treatment. So, it is incorrect to say that people will be left without care,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift to integrated healthcare also affects antiretroviral drug (ARV) distribution. With standalone HIV clinics closing, ARVs will now be dispensed within general hospital pharmacies instead of separate, specialized HIV pharmacy units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes come just three weeks after President Trump imposed a 90-day freeze on all USAID programmes worldwide, disrupting numerous HIV initiatives, partner organizations, and healthcare services in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uganda pioneered dedicated HIV clinics in the late 1990s, establishing safe spaces for HIV testing, counselling, and treatment. This approach significantly improved drug adherence and HIV testing rates, particularly among young people. As a result, HIV prevalence dropped from 19% in the late 1990s to 5% by 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With U.S. President Donald Trump suspending all USAID programmes, the Ugandan government has decided to close most aid-run HIV clinics as it considers its next move, writes John Musenze.
